have invented a new and useful i laistiiami for Trousers of which the fcllowin is ii specification.

This invention has reference to fasteners oi the sepqrable iype especieily designed for use in connection with trousers. ihe primary object of the invention being to previrlc a fastener 01' iliis character wherein one section will more with respect to the other secfion. upon imin'emeni of the sup porting waist band used for sngipcrting the trousers,

Another object of the izivsn'zion is is provide a device of this character which altheugh in emeni one tionwith respeci, to the other seciion wiii maintain the trousers in their prcper positions.

"With the foregoing and oiiher iiricc's; in view which will apnea-T as ihe i :,,m-ipi%on proceeds, the invention Z'QSidPS in the min -liinaisicn and arzangement of giiirie Gilli in the details of constrnc'iioii hereinofier fle- SLEibSZd smii chimed, it iieiiigi-nniierstomi Him;

Serial 350. 585,815? i i Referring to the ilimviiigg in detail, the reference character 5 designates ihe waist hand oi trousers (0 which the keeper forming a par! of the fastenitar is secured. Thislreeper embodies; a hase plate 7 provided with openings 9 to receive threads, by rncanscf which the base nuiyhe secured to ihe trousers, the spur 9 forming 21' part of the base, being designed in pierce he ciol'h material of which the ironscrs are formed to further secure ihe base in position.

Formed integral wiih ihe base 7' is in cxiension 10 which is adapted to be bentover ihe'hase 7 and lie in spaced relation therewith the extension 10 being formed with en elongaieii opening 11 and formed with eircnhir opening 12 adjacent to one end thereof. Cooperating with the exten sion 10 a fastener section indicated at 15 which includes ii her formed with inierai ex tensions 1 iii; Foe ends thereof the lateral extensions being provided wiih cnt 012i poriiens 15- defining spurs i6.

Flecnrecl in this section 13 is a Emailed 'iin I? which head is o'i' a. (lizimeier to iii, Within i'he opening 12 to secure the sections of the ineicner the pin being designerl l0 move in (he opening 11 so thzihwhen the vnisf iinc of the trousers is Sliffl'ilgfiii, more- 7 meni, She sections of the fastener, with respect to each oiher wiii he permiticrl, to iireveni huigring of the irousers at ihe WfilSi; line.

When the seciicns a? the fastener are incverlinfo cooperative relation with each millet: the head of one section whichi e nw eeiveii by the opening of the suljeceniise iicin may nseziine verinzie p eii'ions thrcng'hout the length of the elongated opening of opposed secfiion.

As shown by'i izzores 6 anri Z of the (Erin/rings. on. of the fastener sections ineiwi'cs :i hair lfi hent lnifiiinllilil fifi iiis ends in provide ii head 19 in lm itf'ml in a cor- ,spiindingiy Shaped keeper :0 formed ini'eriiciiieie the bar 22 of the keeper section 22. This section 22 i. ieo i'orm'ed oi lziieml exicnsione 25% which may he positioned heiween hiyei'e of ('iflli} of which the wnisi; hand is formed in secure ihe keeper section against; ini'svemmitz.

The bar 01' each f'zmluncr seciion is. iormcci wiih right engzlerl por'rions ii? that ennpori; the her in spaced relation with the surface in Whiel'i the fastener section SQCHZ'QK'E, at

the same time these angular portions engage the side edges of the keeper sect-ion associated therewith to restrict lateral movement of the sections with respect to each other. i

From the foregoing, it wil be seen that due to the construction of the keeper section as shown by Figure 8 of the drawing, the member 19 may be brought into engagement with either the bar 21 or the bar 24 to provide an adjustable waist band for trousers.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. in a separable fastener, a keeper section including a base plate. an extension formed integral with the base plate. said extension having an elongated opening, a fastener section, said fastener section including a shank and a head, and right angled portions formed adjacent to the ends of the fastener section, said right angled portions adapted to engage the side edges of the extension of the keeper section to restrict lateral movement of the fastener section. and said head section and fastener section, and means forming a part of the fastener section and adapted to cooperate with the side edges of the keeper section to restrict lateral move" ment of the sections with respect to each other.

In testimon that we claim the foregoing as our own. we have hereto atiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
